Big Bear’s lease contract states that if Big Bear’s financial condition suffers a material adverse change, they would be in default. This is objectively determinable. The third condition is that predefined requirements that pertain solely to the lessee have been established which will determine if default has occurred.

Policy is an important consideration for the courts to decide the duty owed by defendants. Lord Bridge suggested that it should be fair, just and reasonable when imposing duty on defendant. It is thought that the imposition of a duty solely base on foreseeability of damage is not desirable. As Winfield and Jolowicz suggests that “the court must decide not simply whether there is or is not a duty, but whether there should or should not be one.” For the purpose of this essay, I will discuss how policy can influence the imposition of duty.
